Description:
The Associate Degree in Virtual Production, presented in collaboration with the Regional Virtual Production Academy (RVPA), is designed to equip students with the essential skills for pursuing entry-level careers in virtual production. Students will learn to apply tools from film production, digital imaging, visual effects, and game engines to the virtual production process, creating real-time projects in a virtual production studio. Students are afforded the flexibility to choose courses from participating colleges in the regional collaboration in order to fulfill the requirements for this degree.
The Associate Degree in Virtual Production is an RVPA program where some courses are available at SRJC or through one or more of the other five participating colleges. For those courses that are not offered at SRJC, visit https://cs.santarosa.edu/vp to view alternative offerings both in-person and remote.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:
- Analyze, describe, and apply the technology requirements of the virtual production workflow.
- Demonstrate proficiency with game engines, 3D computer graphics, visual effects, and film production.
- Create projects using the virtual production process with industry-standard software.
- Demonstrate enhanced collaborative skills and the ability to engage in effective teamwork in a real-time environment.
